Hi Willy,

I just see that my username exists 2 times. I did not recently join
or change projects, and I did not see this happening before.
As far as I know all projects I joined did go under my name.

But now I see a BartS (me in holland) and another BartS (from
portugal). I am wondering if it is possible to have two people
with the same username in the same project (Seti) ?

BTW... boincstats is getting better and better all the time....
keep up the good work !!

I can answer this having seen it in the past.

The answer is yes. Many users can have the same username. The username is largely a cosmetic thing which isn't used by the project to identify you. The unique identifier used by the projects is your email address. It is used to generate a project identifier (unique per project) and the cross project identifier (unique across BOINC).

You can actually have different usernames for different projects. Willy's code will still match them up if they have the same CPID. They will be displayed separated by /s.
